She looks like a Mede,
talks like a Persian
Got Democrat soft bray skin,
but underneath is
hard tusk tongue Republican

looking glossy pretentious
Her Primary job

Three TuesdaysMy dearest Anna,
It has been three Tuesdays since I lost you.

Fort Laramie - a Trooper's StoryAt dawn the bugle's piercin' call roused troopers for another wretched day,
Of curryin' horses, shovelin' manure, drillin', guard duty and gatherin' hay!
Another day of bellerin' sergeants and pompous officers that they must obey!

GusMany are the 'characters' I met while serving my nation.
Seems there's always one who stands out in every organization!

Tables scream opportunities

Somewhere SomebodyObsolete is the byword
that keeps us buying anew,

simply would never do.
Paydays come in many forms

School’s out then it’s onto résumés and workdays
Mondays dragging on through to Fridays
Long commutes on highways, subways and tramways

My son,
Where has that...

All I Want For ChristmasAll I want for Christmas,
is fairness for all,
when one falls down,
they will get that bailout call.
Plenty to eat,

a little help when their down.
Able to buy the presents,
